BR-CO-25: Payment due date or payment terms are missing
A rule from EN 16931. What the message means and how to fix it.
What the message means
If an amount is due (BT-115 positive), EN 16931 requires a payment due date (BT-9) or payment terms (BT-20). The rule is not part of the German KoSIT configuration for XRechnung 3.0.2, so the KoSIT validator and our checker do not report it; Peppol and other validators do.
How to fix it
Add a due date or a text such as “Payable within 30 days without deduction”.
Where the field is in the file
- UBL:
cbc:DueDate or cac:PaymentTerms/cbc:Note - CII:
ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:DueDateDateTime or ram:Description
The rule applies to every format built on EN 16931: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, and other national CIUS.
Check the invoice again: The free validator runs the official KoSIT rule files (EN 16931 rules for UBL and CII, plus the German XRechnung rules) in your browser. Your invoice never leaves your computer, and the report links to the English explanations.
